Twelve-year-old Molly and her ten-year-old brother, Michael, have never liked their younger stepsister, Heather. Ever since their parents got married, she's made Molly and Michael's life miserable. Now their parents have moved them all to the country to live in a house that used to be a church, with a cemetery in the backyard. If that's not bad enough, Heather starts talking to a ghost named Helen and warning Molly and Michael that Helen is coming for them. Molly feels certain Heather is in some kind of danger, but every time she tries to help, Heather twists things around to get her into trouble. It seems as if things can't get any worse. But they do -- when Helen comes. "Genuinely scary, complete with dark secrets from the past, unsettled graves, and a very real ghost." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "An unusually scary, well-crafted ghost fantasy." -- Kirkus Reviews
This book seeks to explore the history of descriptive geometry in relation to its circulation in the 19th century, which had been favoured by the transfers of the model of the École Polytechnique to other countries. The book also covers the diffusion of its teaching from higher instruction to technical and secondary teaching. In relation to that, there is analysis of the role of the institution – similar but definitely not identical in the different countries – in the field under consideration. The book contains chapters focused on different countries, areas, and institutions, written by specialists of the history of the field. Insights on descriptive geometry are provided in the context of the mathematical aspect, the aspect of teaching in particular to non-mathematicians, and the institutions themselves.
A handbook of key articles providing both an introduction and reference for newcomers and experts alike.
This volume contains selected expository lectures delivered at the annual Maurice Auslander Distinguished Lectures and International Conference over the last several years. Reflecting the diverse landscape of modern representation theory of algebras, the selected articles include: a quick introduction to silting modules; a survey on the first decade of co-t-structures in triangulated categories; a functorial approach to the notion of module; a representation-theoretic approach to recollements in abelian categories; new examples of applications of relative homological algebra; connections between Coxeter groups and quiver representations; and recent progress on limits of approximation theory.
El congreso Discrete Mathematics Days (DMD20/22) tendrá lugar del 4 al 6 de julio de 2022, en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Universidad de Cantabria (Santander, España). Este congreso internacional se centra en avances dentro del campo de la Matemática discreta, incluyendo, de manera no exhaustiva: · Algoritmos y Complejidad · Combinatoria · Teoría de Códigos · Criptografía · Geometría Discreta y Computacional · Optimización Discreta · Teoría de Grafos · Problemas de localización discreta y temas relacionados Las ediciones anteriores de este evento se celebraros en Sevilla (2018) y Barcelona (2016), estos congresos heredan la tradición de las Jornadas de Matemática Discre...
A 2010 collection of survey articles by leading experts covering fundamental aspects of triangulated categories, as well as applications in algebraic geometry, representation theory, commutative algebra, microlocal analysis and algebraic topology. This is a valuable reference for experts and a useful introduction for graduate students entering the field.
This volume contains the proceedings of the Conference on Representations of Algebras - Sao Paulo (CRASP), held at the Instituto de Matematica e Estatistica of the Universidade de Sao Paulo, Brazil. It discusses Hopf, tubular, quasischurian, wild hereditary, concealed-canonical Artin, Brauer star, and Koszul algebras.
¿Cuánto hubieran avanzado las matemáticas en este país si María Josefa Wonenburger hubiese podido poner su talento al servicio de la ciencia española? Nunca lo sabremos. Solo conocemos los obstáculos que tuvo que superar, la brillante carrera que hizo en el extranjero y que la convirtió en un referente mundial en álgebra. Wonenburger vio truncadas sus investigaciones al tener que volver a casa, cuando todavía tenía mucho que aportar. Los reconocimientos, como sucede tantas veces, llegaron demasiado tarde. Desde la admiración que sentían por ella, desde la cercanía, las doctoras María José Souto Salorio y Ana Dorotea Tarrío Tobar nos cuentan la historia de esta niña que quería hacer matemáticas para encontrar respuestas a todo aquello que se preguntaba.
¿Podemos clonar seres humanos para contar con órganos de repuesto? ¿Utilizarán nuestro ADN para clasificarnos y determinar nuestro futuro? ¿Se experimentan las nuevas técnicas biomédicas en humanos sin su consentimiento? Si te haces estas preguntas es probable que hayas visto o leído mucha ciencia ficción. Y en este género los científicos suelen hacer lo que les da la gana o lo que el malo de turno les ordena. En la vida real, no. A pesar de lo que digan algunos alarmistas. En la vida real existen normas que deben acatarse. En este libro el doctor Lluís Montoliu deja claro que tener la capacidad tecnológica y científica de hacer algo no significa que deba hacerse o que se permita. Porque en la biomedicina, no todo vale.
